Customer Reviews

“Great service. These guy had me in and out quick. No more trouble. Have a happy truck now!”

“Great service and had all the answers! We found our permanent mechanic.”

“I need to start off by saying that my trip in to AAMCO in San Marcos today was my first. I arrived for my appointment (brake inspection and oil replacement) on time and found a very neat and professional atmosphere. The representative I spoke with was Joe. Immediately he treated me as though I were family to him. He took my vehicle in for the inspection and contacted me shortly after to inform me that I needed more parts. He was very courteous and thorough in his information as to where the costs would be. After agreeing to the service I chatted with him, only to find out that the business here is owned and operated by veterans. They did a great job on my vehicle and I couldn't be more thankful for the assistance I received today. Thanks Joe!”

“Thank you joe for rebuilding my transmission and being honest with me when it was having issues and figuring out what was going on with it. When it started acting up again they replaced the faulty part again for free and gave me a free oil change. ”

“My grandson and I had gone to Oceanside from El Cakon to buy a table off of Craigslist on the way back my truck started to over heat I stop at ammco in San Marcos they got us right in and fixed it in a timely manner. All the employees were great to us. I recommend them for your auto needsThanks again to ammco San Marcos”

“I used Aamco to make do some minor maintenance on my vehicle and they handled things in a satisfactory manner. The owner and his team were attentive to my needs and they performed the work without any hiccups. Above all, they didn't offer me services I didn't need. I came for a battery replacement and I left with one instead of a long list of services that were not necessary. I can appreciate that; it helps to foster a sense of trust.”

“Got an honest quote and great service. Thanks Joe. Discounted rental car to pick me up. Found my new go to shop saying good bye the first dealer.”

“I drove around and around looking for anyone to replace my headlight .. no one even tried to order the part for me to replace it ... already in destress I stopped here for one last try before going home in tears ... Joe picked up his phone and called around until he found someone to deliver the light .. he treated me like a person and didn’t excuse me or push me off to the side. He’s funny as all hell !!! Like he said “you went to the rest and now your with the best “ or something close to that lol ... he had me waiting no more then 30 minutes from the time he made the call to the time my car was done ... y’all are great ! Thank you again Joe for going above and beyond with helping me today !!!!”

Air Conditioning Services
Stay Cool All Summer Long with Auto A/C Services from AAMCO. We'll visually inspect hoses, lines, seals and other components for leaks, check temperature readings, check that your compressor is operating properly and inspect the drive belt for cracks or damage. You may simply need a recharge of the refrigerant or the inspection could call for other service, like a new compressor. Plus, your air conditioning belt drives many other components in your vehicle, meaning a broken belt can have a much worse impact than simply an uncomfortable trip. It takes an expert to tell, so take your car to AAMCO and let the experts give you the peace of mind knowing that your vehicle will keep you cooler and safer.
Automotive Repair Services
Our AAMCO center can provide all of your vehicle's service needs specified in the owner's manual. Our skilled technicians perform a wide range of services, making our AAMCO center your one-stop shop for all of your vehicle's repairs and maintenance.
Battery Maintenance and Charging Service
A well-maintained battery gives you peace of mind, whether you're out on the road or the weather turns cold. An AAMCO technician will inspect the battery connections, the hardware, the condition of the case, the electrolyte level (where applicable) and the battery load (its ability to perform its function). The technician inspects the alternator belts, brackets and connections and tests voltage and current. Finally, the starter is inspected for proper connections and mounting and is tested to see how much electrical power is required to turn over the engine when the engine is cranked. Based on this expert diagnosis, your AAMCO center will recommend the service that's right for you and replace only the needed components.
Belts and Hoses Inspection
Come to AAMCO when it's time for your vehicle's Serpentine Belt Replacement Service. Serpentine belts are critical to the operation of a number of your vehicle's components, from the water pump to the power steering pump to the alternator to the air conditioning. That's why it's important to have the serpentine belt inspected regularly-it is a part of AAMCO's Vehicle Courtesy Check . A worn serpentine belt is not always obvious, so it's important to have it changed according to your vehicle manufacturer's specifications. Timely replacement could mean the difference between trouble-free operation and just plain old trouble.
Brake Repair Shop - San Marcos, CA
Check Engine Light Service
Check Engine Light On? There are hundreds of codes that could trigger your Check Engine Light. Even the most common reasons can have many possible causes. Our expertise in vehicle diagnostics means we can quickly pin-point what is causing your Check Engine Light to come on and we will recommend only what needs repair. Our auto repair and service specialists know check engine light codes and diagnoses. So when your check engine light is flashing, give AAMCO a call.
Clutch Service and Repair
If a Vehicle Courtesy Check finds your problem is only with your clutch and cannot be corrected by external adjustments, your certified AAMCO expert technician will then remove your vehicle's transmission and examine the clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel and related components, then replace any required worn or damaged components to meet AAMCO's exacting standards and restore clutch performance. AAMCO will then reinstall the transmission, check the transmission fluid and top it off and perform a lift check to ensure proper clutch installation and adjustment. Your vehicle is then road tested to ensure proper transmission and clutch performance and your car, truck or SUV will be ready to go for many miles to come.
Cooling System Service and Repair
Come to AAMCO today if your vehicle overheats, your coolant or temperature light comes on, your temperature gauge reads higher or lower than normal or your heater does not work. Your local AAMCO technician can check your vehicle to see if you require an AAMCO Cooling System Service. We can repair or replace any of the following components of the cooling system: the radiator, radiator cap, radiator hoses and radiator fan or fan clutch, thermostats, waterpumps, fan belts and serpentine belts, temperature sensors, heater cores and hoses. We'll get you back safely on the road as soon as possible.
